Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This historic side hall cottage is set on a 30' wide by 123' deep corner lot and is arranged around an interior layout designed for flexibility. Inside, the home features 13' tall ceilings, antique heart pine hardwood flooring, and a smartly designed plan with three private bedrooms and two full updated bathrooms. An updated center kitchen anchors the interior, while a rear courtyard provides a quieter outdoor space.
The property’s location places it close to New Orleans’ employment and entertainment core, with approximately five blocks to the CBD and Warehouse District and about one block to the Saint Charles Avenue streetcar corridor. The setting also includes secure off-street parking for two large vehicles, an important convenience in this part of the city.
Zoned HU-MU (Historic Urban Neighborhood Mixed Use), the property is positioned for buyers seeking a residence or an adaptive use that aligns with mixed-use zoning requirements. Options discussed for the space include executive-style living, professional office use, boutique retail or gallery concepts, wellness or specialty service practices, or corporate/short-term rental conversions, with the understanding that permitted uses must be verified with the City of New Orleans. The combination of historic character, flexible interior configuration, and parking-supported access makes it a practical choice for a wide range of tenant and buyer scenarios.
